National Geographic Photo Camp

Our Programs

What is National Geographic Photo Camp?  Our Advisory Board member and Technical Director Jim Webb, and editor Pierre Kattar produced this piece to answer that question.

In the spring of 2011, our first all-girl Photo Camp ventured to Smith Island, Maryland to document the disappearing islands of the Chesapeake Bay. Photographer Jay Kinghorn, the Technical Director for this camp, created this multimedia piece with the girls’ images.

January of 2012, NGPC partnered with Qatar Foundation International during a cultural exchange pairing 22 high school students from Qatar with students from an Arabic language school in Brazil during a 10-day exploration of Doha, Qatar.  Here is one of the resulting videos- a compilation born of the students images, videos, and journal entries, mentored by photographer Tyrone Turner.
